Post by milkman » February 2, 2018, 10:02 pm

This got a HUGE + reaction among my American friends. I wonder if you English people and Germans will be able to relate as well:

He had managed, somehow, to get an additional space in the URL.
I have fixed it & it should work now..

Obviously American orientated, it was all so different in the UK. We still had food rationing until '54, even then many items were either not available or in short supply, even then only available to the very rich. We didn't have any race problems, apart from a few Yankie soldiers we had never seen a black face outside of kiddies comic books . As for the ladies, well a quote from that time say's it all"1950's housewife has been prepared at school and home for her role in life. She took pleasure and pride in looking after home and family to the best of her ability. She didn't have a career outside the home and she had no income of her own , which left her dependent on her husband" Those were the days.
Don't get me going about the 30's and 40's.

Ageing is a privilige denied to many .
